The Landscape of Coverage for Fertility Preservation in Male Pediatric Patients
ConclusionsCoverage of fertility preservation is extremely limited in scope of benefits and the number of states that require such benefits. State governments can increase access to a fertility preservation benefit by removing spousal criteria and expanding diagnostic criteria, and by including the benefit in Medicaid plans.

Comparative Outcomes of Conventional and Miniaturized Percutaneous Nephrostolithotomy for the Treatment of Kidney Stones—Does a Miniaturized Tract Improve Quality of Care?
ConclusionsConventional and mini percutaneous nephrostolithotomies are effective methods of removing renal stones 1 to 3.5 cm in greatest dimension. There is no difference in residual stone volume, postoperative analgesic use or operative time between the 2 modalities, but blood loss is less in the mini percutaneous nephrostolithotomy group.

Reduction in Opioid Prescribing Using a Postoperative Pain Management Protocol following Scrotal and Subinguinal Surgery
ConclusionsEvaluation of postoperative pain management revealed excessive prescribing of opioid medications compared to actual usage. Our protocol resulted in a significant decrease in opioid prescribing without compromising management of postoperative pain. Adjunct treatments for pain, including scrotal support, ice packs, elevation and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, may improve postoperative pain control without increasing opioid usage. The combination of enhanced patient education and reduced opioid prescribing may result in decreased opioid use, opioid abuse and medication costs. (Source: Urology Practice)
